Nvidia GT 540M Windows XP Driver

 This post is for tutorial purpose especially to work Nvidia GT 540M and GT 520M on Acer 4750.
There are no official release for the drivers, So do it at your own risk (read disclaimer first before proceed!), i don't hold any responsibility for your action.

INTRO:
There are 2 possible way (so far) to install this graphic on win xp system. If you successfully install it please do share the information with us.

A: MOD DRIVER
B : EDITING INF

If method A didn't Work try method B, by he way i only tested method B with GT 520M. So for GT 540M I can't confirm it will work.

A: MOD DRIVER

1. Download Drivers
Link: download (267.59)

For 64-bit you can search for nvidia 267.59 64-bit.

2. Download the mod INF : not available you must do it manually by reading the tutorial below. I apologize for the inconvenience.

3. Now copy the mod INF and replace the original inf in the extracted folder. Browse through 267.59 - Display.Driver - replace the mod inf.

4. Then run setup.

B. EDITING INF

Download this Driver: 267.04 Driver.

1. Extract the driver folder. (i recommend to install winrar)

2. open device manager by click start and select run, type DEVMGMT.MSC and press ENTER.

3. Right click on  video controller  and select Properties.

Since my graphic already installed, so it is different from yours

4. Select Details and select hardware ID.

5. Copy the hardware ID (press CTRL + C to copy).

6. Open the driver folder we extracted, open the Display.Driver Folder and look for NVSM.INF and open it.

open the NVSM.inf with notepad

7. Look for the line show at he picture below. Then under it you will see the list of IDs.

After you find this line, look for the ID similar to your ID, this might be kinda PITA but worth it.Then look for the line like below.

Example your hardware ID is:

Going through the list you will found similar ID,

8. then  add one more line below it like the picture below. ADD new line below it like in the picture (and replace the RED line with your hardware ID).

See picture below how i add the line

9. save and run setup.

Intel 82852/82855 Graphic Driver for Vista

Officially there are no drivers for intel 82852/82855 released for windows vista and windows 7. They are only available in windows XP. The trick that i always do with upgrading old models is install the XP driver in wndows vista using compatibility mode. Not only driver but this trick also work with windows 7.

1. Download the XP Driver form the manufacture (There are lower chance for the drievr to work if you download it from Intel).
example : Compaq V2000 Driver
(for compressed files, extract it first)

2. Right click on the driver select properties.

3. Select COMPATIBILITY.

4. Select run this program...'Windows XP'.

5. Right click again and select run as admin.

Compaq Presario CQ40-128AU Windows 7 Driver

 Before downloading and install this driver, i would like to outline several things. First windows 7 is Driver friendly OS (only for new model), which mean some of the driver already installed, so here is some important thing:

1. Normally the drivers need to be install is: Graphic (SMSBUS), Card Reader, Infrared, Quicklaunch, Modem and Touchpad.
2. Other Driver like sound, if you heard sound, no need to install audio. Similar to wireless and other, if they work no need to install.

 3. make sure to check windows updates, there are 2 sections which is critical update and optional updates, select optional updates and there you will see several updates for your driver especially graphics.
